Intro: F A7 Dm7 C7 x2
F Dm7 Gm7 C7
I could while away the hours conferrin' with the flowers,
F (F7 8th fret)
Consulting with the rain;
Bb7 Gm7
And my head I'd be a scratchin'
C7 A/C# (x4535o)
While my thoughts were surely hatchin'
Dm7 C7
If I only had a brain.
F Dm7 Gm7 C7
I'd unravel ev'ry riddle for any individdle
F (F7 8th fret)
In trouble or in pain
Bb Gm7
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin',
C7
I could be another Lincoln
F (F7 8th fret)
If I only had a brain.
Bb Bdim (xx3434) Am7 D Gm7 C7 F
Oh, I--could tell you why - - the ocean's near the shore,
Gm A7 Dm7
I could think of things I'd never thunk before,
G7 B7 – C7
And then I'd stop and think some more.
F Dm7 Gm7 C7
I would not be just a nuffin', my head all full of stuffin',
F (F7 8th fret)
My heart all full of pain;
Bb Gm7 C7 A/C#
And perhaps I'd deserve you and be even worthy of you
Dm7 A7
If I only had a brain.
F A7
If I only had a brain
Dm7 C7
If I only had a brain
F A7 Dm7 C7 outro
